Crafting with Aquabeads

This week we have been crafting with aquabeads. You may remember we tried Aquabeads last year and we were keen to try them again with Big Brother being a little older. Aquabeads join together with just a spray of water.

We received the Aquabeads Alpha Set which contained over 500 beads in eight different colours, and eight letter stands.  We also received the Aquabeads tray and sprayer to review.

We all like Aquabeads and it is easy to find more designs online or create your own. I love the fact they stick together with just water and I think they represent good value for hours of fun.
